Society tends to look down on men that do that nowadays. if we can find a man that isn't afraid to do this stuff (and i have before) they are the ones that are ahead of the game. the keepers. Great words Maria.

I think what I always loved about R & J is that if they had been JUST a LITTLE older, they might not have gotten in so much trouble! I do love your concept of "romantic love" and go along with you that there's not much of it anymore... Good use of language and phrasing to get your ideas across.
